1961 Tradewind

We have recently bought a 1961 tradewind and are looking to restore it to as close as practical to original condition,now the question is does anyone have any pics of the outside and inside of one of these in original condition?the trailer is in excellent condition but many thing have been changed or removed so we are trying to learn what it origanally looked like any help with this would be a great help. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone has.
Rick.

P.S. does anyone know a good source for original parts?also is there a piping scematic available for this trailer(dang i gotta lotta work to do)

We have more parts for the vintage Airstreams than anyone, anywhere.

Tad, I have a '61 also. It is more or less in original condition. Click "images" in my profile to see some interior and exterior pics. I have lots more if you need them. There is a wealth of information in these forums if you look hard enough. Good luck with your new Airstream!
